hey guys,
can i include diagrams in both report & essay?
Yeah its a good thing to do if its really simple and helps to get your point across (e.g putting a diagram of the PLC or BLC)
I don't see why you shouldn't do it in both. They're both reports.
Of course section 4 CAN be written as an essay, but a report format helps keep you on track and markers always say report styles for section 4 get the better marks.

Hope this helps, good luck on friday!  ;D

I don't think they use any other names for them? Especially not for liquidity and solvency. I've not seen them use synonyms for them before.

Hi,

So at our school, our teacher made us write the non-stimulus question in business report format. I just recently found out that the format isn't specified by the HSC for that question and that the only one which you have to write in business report format is the stimulus question! So now I'm panicking! Is using business report format acceptable for the non-stimulus question? Or do I have to write it in an essay format (which I've never ever done for Business Studies before!) I don't want to change what I'm familiar with but will I get marked down for using business report format? What did you guys do??

Hey

So for Section III (business report), it does specify that you have to write in the business report format. However, for section IV it just says in an extended  response format, so that can be either in the essay form or business report form.

Just do whatever you feel comfortable with! If you have been doing section IV in a report form, best you stay with that now since it's what you've practiced with and considering it is the day before the exam

Good luck for tomorrow!

Hey!
Just to add onto what emilygeorge has said, it is 100% acceptable. It's what I've always used, and what my teacher recconmendeds (used to be a senior marker). If you're still not feeling assured, have a look at the formats used by some past responses over the years!

All the best for tommorrow!  ;D

Hey guys, I have a question.

Under the 'Factors influencing customer choice' dotpoint in Marketing, I was always under the impression that 'sociocultural' factors referred to of course a person's society/culture but also their socio-economic status based on their income etc which influenced their customer choice. And I thought that 'economic' factors referred to the state of the economy (boom, recession which obviously impacts on consumer choice).

But on HSC Discussion a lot of people seem to be arguing that influences such as a person buying a luxury car is an ECONOMIC influence instead of a socio-cultural (which is what I was taught smh). Also I did a past paper question and the answer also seems to conflict with what I was taught and now I'm honestly just confused.

If anyone could clarify this, it'd be great!

Hey!
So the way i see it, that is an economic factor
I look at it like this:
Psychological factors are ones that are internal (ones' self) influences. Meaning that an individuals buying habits are influenced by their own opinion
Socio-cultural is where they are external infuences from other groups and peers that influence someones buying behaviour
Economic deals with both the government and someones own socio-economic status

So i would agree with both the picture and the hsc disscussion people who say "a person buying a luxury car is an ECONOMIC influence, not a socio-cultural one"

Hope this helps!

Not a question, but wishing you all the very best with business studies tomorrow. We've all put in the hard yards and once this is done, business is all over.
We can do this guys! Good luck for tomorrow!  ;D

Hi, I wanted to clarify something. Under Operations Strategies where it says performance objectives, then it has speed.

Does speed refer to the amount of time taken to complete the operations, or amount of time to respond to changes in market demand levels

Hey!
Speed under performance objectives means efficiencies in production. So yes, it is the amount of time taken to complete the operations process.

Just adding on to what Mada438 said above, whilst speed refers to amount of time taken in the actual operations, it is the 'Flexibility' Operations performance objective that refers to efficiency regarding the amount of time taken in responding to changes in market demand/wants/volume levels.

Hey,

I recently sat in one of Andrew's Business Studies lectures, I was curious to find out what his explicit abbreviations he used to remember sections of the syllabus.

 P.S. His lecture was pretty sick, highly recommend, gutted he didn't have more of my subjects
You don't have to necessareily use the ones andrew uses. Its just an example of how it is done. You can make your own ones up as well and they'll do just a good a job!
Actually, i recconmend using your own ones as it means they are easier for you to remember because they are tailored to you!
